Many of us will be gathering around tables this holiday season with people who we don’t always agree with.  No matter who you’re in conversation with, we have some guidance for a smoother discussion.

The ACLU's Holiday Conversation Guide
Pass the yams and the politically-fraught chatter, everyone - it's that time of year again. We know many of us will find ourselves gathering around tables this holiday season with a wide range of folks in our lives - loved ones, friends, chosen family, and the family you'd only choose to spend one day a year with.

McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."

Because memories are short...facts in short supply. Remember, this is the guy who routinely takes credit for others' work and ideas, and gets away with it. Who takes no responsibility, evades accountability and blame for anything that goes wrong -- or turns deadly -- on his watch or in his wake.

"Potentially divisive"? Yes, if you mean separating heads from bodies, life from the living. The "hate" is implicit. Apologies for the imagery but it's true.

Anyone encouraged to kill these members of Congress, who also served this country in military and intelligence roles, should refuse to obey that order as well. It's come to this.

Seems as though much of the theater-going public is exercising the same caution as during the pandemic by avoiding what could quickly become a vector for bad or no taste. A shame, and a real blow to the performing arts but sometimes you need to take preventative measures and reduce your exposure.
